Ron Paul gets screwed

Despite coming in second in both Iowa and New Hampshire in the latest Bloomberg polls, Ron Paul will still be relegated to the wings during CNN’s national security debate next Tuesday. A campaign source sent over the standing order, which runs from left to right on the television screen:

Santorum Paul Perry Romney Cain Gingrich Bachmann Huntsman

The order — with Romney and Cain in the center, flanked by Perry and Gingrich on either side — does line up with RealClearPolitics’ latest aggregate of national polls, which puts Perry 2.6 points ahead of Paul. The Texas congressman complained bitterly about being given just 89 seconds of speaking time in last Saturday’s CBS News debate.
